Dear Koen et al: The reason for the inclusion of scipy it to support two pymol plugins: APBS (an electrostatics program that is quite popular amongst structural molecular biologists) and a py-nmr plugin (of use to NMR spectroscopists). There may be other reasons as well that I am not aware of.
Please note, even if the plugins that I and other maintainers in this package's history were removed, and the dependency upon scipy, there would STILL be a required dependency on gcc46 (or some form of gfortran) because of the python gui, i.e., the tkinter python megawidgets has a dependency upon BLT (a tcltk widget), and BLT has a dependency upon a fortran component. Omitting the fortran components from BLT still allows it to compile, but it is not the fully-enabled BLT required by some other packages. So we are doomed, unless we want to create a separate set of dependencies for a slimmed-down pymol. I am willing to do this, but this does come with some overhead.
